Good advice GrahamLamb. Thanks for sharing this important information 🤗
Several years ago my blood work indicated that I was dangerously low on potassium. I was put on potassium pills for awhile. My dr. told me to eat bananas and/or drink orange juice to keep potassium levels healthy. My dr. always checks for potassium when ordering bloodwork for me.
My Dr takes a whole lot of blood at beginning of the year and halfway through, i hope potassium is included. Have a great day people.

Good Morning,
Thanks for the information about Potassium. I remember my grandmother was hospitalized for high potassium and a minor stroke. She had diabetes.
Graham- Many thanks for the information. I'll make sure to ask the doctor to include it on my next lab appointment.
